St. Johns Missionary Baptist Church. c. 1923. On Friday, December 14, 1923, Rev. M. H. Hutchins, Bro. Dave Carroll, Sis. Mary Carroll and Sis. Emma Anderson initiated a Christian fellowship which was examined by the Old Orange Hill Missionary Baptist Association and found to meet criteria, as set forth by the Holy Bible and Hiscox Directory, for a Missionary Baptist Church. The first congregation was housed in a wood frame structure located at the corner of Eleventh Street and Mercedes Avenue; a more substantial structure was erected at the same site in 1929. Since its inception, the church has welcomed 13 pastors. In 1987 with Rev. Jackson E. Jones, a groundbreaking was held for the current sanctuary. With Rev. Delwynn Williams the church acquired the adjoining property of the former Triumph Church of God where the Jackson E. Jones Memorial Chapel and Education Center was completed in May 2011. ,
